LYRICS:
Whatever happened to
The dreams that we once knew
Whatever happened to us
Did we grow up too fast?
Well, I don’t want to be
Whatever they decided for me
And I don’t want to feel
The way it’s making me feel
We are, we are, we are
We are born to the stars, we are
We are never to stop
Never to stop
Even when it scares us
We are, we are, we are
We are given a chance we are
We are never to stop
Never to stop
We are the only chance we’ve got
Whatever happened to
The brave and beautiful
The hope in songs & books
Discovering the universe
Well I don’t want to be
Their sensible version of me
And I don’t want to feel
The way it’s making me feel
Whatever happened to
The dreams that we once knew
Whatever happened to our childlike wonder
I need to feel the light
The hunger for this life
The beauty lies inside
So go and find it
